Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXXV (1791) First Line: Broad is the Road that leads to Death Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to Death,
And Thousands walk together there;
But Wisdom shows a narrower Path,
With here and there a Traveller.
2 Deny thyself, and take thy Cross,
Is the Redeemer's great Command:
Nature must count her Gold but Dross,
If she would gain this heav'nly Land.
3 The fearful Soul that tires and faints,
And walks the Ways of God no more,
Is but esteem'd almost a Saint,
And makes his own Destruction sure.
4 Lord, let not all my Hopes be vain,
Create my Heart entirely new,
Which Hypocrites could ne'er attain,
Which false Apostates never knew. Topics: Pilgrimage of Saints Scripture: Matthew 7:13 Languages: English
